Hey, ‘Islamist’ and ‘Radical Islam’ Are Just Words, Right?

Attorney General Eric Holder, speaking yesterday about whether the administration should refer to terrorists who claim to act in the name of Islam by their faith or by the term “Islamist”: “ ‘Radical Islam,’ ‘Islamic extremism,’ you know, I’m not sure an awful lot is gained by saying that… What we have to do is defined not by the terms that we use, but by the facts on the ground. So I don’t worry an awful lot about what the appropriate terminology ought to be. I think that people need to actually think about that and think about really, are we having this conversation about words as opposed to what our actions ought to be?”

Got it? The terminology doesn’t matter. It’s just words.

“Just words? Just words? “
